How to insert a Menstrual Cup

If are thinking about buying a menstrual cup, you need to know the basics or maybe you already have one and are having issues. Regardless, here are some tips for inserting your cup⬇️
1. Sterilize
It’s important that your cup is clean. You don’t have to sterilize your cup every time you use it, but you should at the beginning of your period. Later just wash your cup in between removal and insertion.
2. Position
Trying to insert your cup in a different position can help it go into place smoother and with less discomfort if this is your first time. I recommend squatting in the shower for first-timers.
3. Folds
The C Fold will help with getting the cup to fully open, while the punch down helps have less discomfort or you can try the triangle fold.
4. Lube
The most underestimated tool for inserting your cup. It helps make inserting your cup more comfortable and helps the cup “pop” open or fully open.
5. Try again
You most likely won’t get it your first time, so remove the cup and try again.

Girls .. just use pads .. change it every time you go to the bathroom and clean well with water 🚿 and then dry well before wearing a fresh clean one.

I have been trying everything possible with my cup to open and on my last period I accidentaly tryed something that is making my cup open every single time on the first try- put it in your favorite fold, insert HALF way- so half of the cup is still outside of your vulva. Release it and wiggle it to open. Now just pust it by the pin inside to the place where you place it usually. It is much easyer to let it open while it is still partially outside so you can play with it with fingers. Hope it helps ❤

You need to try some easy fold that is not hard to keep the grip on. Also, hold the cup tightly from bottom so that you can fully insert it in before it opens

How many times do you need to take it out? Im asking for heavy flow girls. It looks like a dozen trips to the washrooms. Then fear of touching blood even if its my own, when you remove the cup doesn't it spill in back inside you and also all over your hands? 💀 If i had wore it, i would really want to clean inside me with water or I'd feel so dirty. I'm not trying to criticize by the way, I am just thinking of how this will never work for me. Personal opinion.

@pixiecup 7 ай бұрын

It depends on your flow, but you may have to remove it every few hours if you have heavy flow. Typically a menstrual cup can be comfortably emptied every 6 hours on average depending on the size of the cup. If you remove the cup before it's too full, emptying it shouldn't be messy and you should be able to dump the contents in the toilet. However, using a menstrual cup isn't for everyone, but it can be well worth the try! :)

@pixiecup 10 ай бұрын

It depends on the height of your cervix. If you have a lower cervix, the stem may stick out. The best way to fix this is to turn the cup inside out or trim the stem so it doesn't cause discomfort.

It doesn't have to be an actual "pop", but it does need to unfold all the way after you insert it. We'd recommend getting a smaller cup so it unfolds easier. We have an Extra Small/Teen Cup if you want to try a smaller size!

Do you feel like your cup opens all the way without any folds after you insert it? If your cup does open all the way, you many need to size up to a larger cup so that it creates a better seal.

Try to insert little finger i.e. pinky finger cleanly washed, and Nails trimmed And insert this pinky finger during ur periods or 1 or 2 days before ur prds date, cos vaginal is gycerin like wet at that time so it doesn't cause friction Also, remember Do you wash ur vulvar region with water and soap properly regularly during bathing? if not , that means u r not taking care of n knowing ur own body and health A boy can touch , pull foreskin back and clean his penis, as he has right to his personal body n care, so do u have too Even if u don't use a cup, it is always good to take care of ur genital areas U can check by inserting pinky finger as a normal check up to see if u have high cervix or low just for ur own body knowledge and health awareness, isn't it?

One leg up in the shower or even outside of the shower. Twisting and bearing down or pushing the middle part of the bottom of the cup....and it goes up higher than you think. Not all the way up in the vaginal fornication but just at the opening. If you are brand new try a firmer cup or if you are sensitive try a less firm cup and try different folds before you actually start your period. But use lube because it's different when you don't have all that moisture to help the cup glide easier. Your first day on your cycle will most likely need to be changed more frequently. And wear a back up pair of period undies or a pad reusable or disposable. Goodluck!

I usually just bear down or act like im pushing a doo doo or baby out [lol 😆] and I can feel the tab or part of the cup that help you reach. You have to break.the seal though!

On lighter days I can go 8-12 hours, and let me tell you, it is pure FREEDOM to be able to do that. Give it a try for yourself and see if you like it :)
